Italy's bishops and faithful are joining Pope Leo XIV in a day of prayer and fasting on August 22 to pray for peace and justice amid ongoing conflicts, especially invoking the Queen of Peace, Mary, to intercede for reconciliation and harmony worldwide.
Cardinal Péter Erdő reflects on Pope Francis' Apostolic Journey to Hungary, saying the Pope came as a true pilgrim of peace and brought the faithful a sense of immense joy and a call to work for peace. The visit was a special joy for the Hungarian Catholic community, and the Pope expressed great affection for those whom he met. Pope Francis prayed for peace and entrusted Hungary and Europe to the protection of the Virgin Mary. The visit was a great encouragement for bishops, priests, deacons, religious, teachers of the faith, and all those actively involved in the life of the Church, as well as by the poor, the disabled, the blind children, the homeless, and refugees.
